Name of man killed by Las Vegas police released

LAS VEGAS 
The Clark County coroner's office has identified a man shot and killed by a Las Vegas police officer last week.

The coroner's office says 32-year-old John Paul Hambleton died Wednesday of a perforating gunshot wound to the chest, the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported on its Web site Monday.

Police said Hambleton was suspected in a sexual assault case and detectives in plain clothes told him at his work that he was going to be arrested. Police say he fled and a detective fired a Taser at him, but that it didn't stop him.

Police said another detective pursued Hambleton and a scuffle between the two ensued. The officer shot Hambleton, who died at the scene. The detectives were not injured.
